History UncannyValley / Film

** In ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger'', the pre-serumed Steve Rogers in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1Hi8B1jOBo&feature=player_embedded Captain America trailer]] is distinctly... off. Given that the CGI's done by the same people that did ''[[http://www.thedorkreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/curious-case-of-benjamin-button-1.jpg The Curious Case of Benjamin Button]]'', it's not much of a surprise. This becomes more visible watching on a home TV screen/laptop, as Chris Evans' face is naturally too big for the stand-in's head.

** The same applies to ''Film/TheCatInTheHat'' with Thing 1 and Thing 2. The Cat himself is no better; you can see the outline of Mike Myers' head through the makeup. And then there,s the Fish... it's a little unclear just WHAT they were trying to do with him, but it looks like they were trying to pull off a cross between the Fish from the book and an actual fish that you'd see in real life - and it results in a really, REALLY freaky-looking character design.

** [[spoiler: The Hulk seen in ''Film/AvengersEndgame'' takes this to logical extreme as the perfect hybrid of both Bruce Banner and Hulk (aka Professor Hulk), it’s like there’s a big green Mark Ruffalo walking around being careful and scientific instead child-like rage outs the result is [[https://i.ytimg.com/vi/8K9babkSoOs/maxresdefault.jpg strange]] to say the least. It's also probably thanks the preceding 10 years where you as audience haven gotten used to the savage ManChild Hulk, that the sight of a near-human intelligent Hulk talking with no HulkSpeak is freaky]].

** Leon's face changes throughout all three movies. In ''Degeneration'' he visually looks like his [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil4 RE4 version]], but his [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/0d/09/5c/0d095c4bec99d4fa121da069b1bde143.png face]] however looks notably ''different'' from the other characters, also unlike in the games Leon's pretty [[PerpetualFrowner stone faced]] and barely makes expression, thus he stands out like sore thumb. In ''Damnation'' Leon's face looks much better, it’s still weird enough that it takes some getting used to, while the other characters look more natural. In ''Vendetta'' Leon looks the best of the whole trilogy except for [[https://www.hobbyconsolas.com/sites/hobbyconsolas.com/public/video-thumbnails/dailymotion_x5bld9y.jpg some shots]].

** The backlash to this abomination was so bad that the film was delayed to 4 months later to fix the design. The new trailer shows
ed off [[https://cdn3-www.gamerevolution.com/assets/uploads/2019/11/pjimage-57.jpg Sonic's new design]]. It looks ''far'' better than the first version of him. Sonic's face looks more like his video game counterpart and his tiny hands were replaced with his trademark overly large WhiteGloves.

* ''Film/SonicTheHedgehog2020'' is now infamous for its downright ghastly rendition of the title character. Many other {{live action adaptation}}s of cartoon characters keep them looking, well, cartoonish, for fear of dipping into the Valley. ''Sonic''... [[https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/K9UzsnnkJ2kGnwQoPVKnER-970-80.jpg doesn't]]. This movie features a CG version of the Blue Blur with a realistically proportioned head, two small individual eyes as opposed to his normal pseudo-cyclopean appearance, elongated limbs opposed to [[RubberHoseLimbs the short rubber hoses]] seen in the video games, teeny-tiny hands and feet, and (worst of all) a realistic mouth full of individual human teeth, which among everything else, bares an almost perfect resemblance to that of [[https://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&biw=1353&bih=804&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=qERQXbf5EMy4abyVk-gG&q=promachoteuthis+sulcus&oq=Promachoteuthis+sulcus&gs_l=img.1.0.0l3.35592.35592..37790...0.0..0.173.173.0j1......0....1..gws-wiz-img.wfFdjoIaNxM a Promachoteuthis sulcus.]] No ''wonder'' Tom freaks out when he first meets him. It's a wonder '''anyone''' in the movie can look at Sonic for more than five seconds without getting [[BrainBleach the uncontrollable urge to burn him.]]
** There's already several fans online improving Sonic with [[https://i2.wp.com/thefanboyseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/FB_IMG_1556817825858.jpg?fit=892%2C649 their]] [[https://i.redd.it/twdmeqwfhov21.jpg own]] [[https://media.comicbook.com/2019/03/sonic-the-hedgehog-fan-edit-leaked-movie-image-1161572-1280x0.jpeg edits]]
** The backlash to this abomination was so bad, that the film was delayed to 4 months later to fix the design.
** The updated trailer shows off [[https://cdn3-www.gamerevolution.com/assets/uploads/2019/11/pjimage-57.jpg Sonic's new design]]. While it isn't quite absent of the creepy factor, it looks ''far'' better than the first version of him. Sonic's face looks more like his video game counterpart and his tiny hands were replaced with his trademark overly large WhiteGloves.

* In the live action film of ''Film/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas'', the Whos look like normal humans but with large ears and weirdly shaped noses...and it's rather unsettling.
** The same applies to ''Film/TheCatInTheHat'' with Thing 1 and Thing 2.

** See the remake of ''Film/HouseOnHauntedHill (1999)'' for this in action.

** Cloud suffers from this rather badly (not surprising, as the animators have admitted that he was one of the most difficult to make look realistic). While he does appear [[https://wallpapertag.com/wallpaper/middle/d/d/6/640289-cloud-strife-advent-children-wallpaper-1920x1080-samsung-galaxy.jpg passable]] [[https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Final-Fantasy-FVII.png in]] [[https://wallpapertag.com/wallpaper/middle/4/e/2/640330-cloud-strife-advent-children-wallpaper-1920x1080-1080p.jpg some]] [[https://wallpapertag.com/wallpaper/middle/7/f/4/640278-cloud-strife-advent-children-wallpaper-1920x1080-smartphone.jpg shots]], for the most part he just looks off due to [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/finalfantasy/images/b/b3/Cloud_Advent_Children.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20080226224815 his extremely pale face]] and the juxtaposition of his ridiculously {{Bishonen}} head placed on a muscly body which [[https://66.media.tumblr.com/72f66b16182062cf257b4b2e97e6e486/tumblr_inline_nxm4lmrRmP1s6zkys_1280.jpg doesn't quite]] [[https://c.wallhere.com/photos/27/6c/movies_Final_Fantasy_Cloud_Strife_Final_Fantasy_VII_Advent_Children-230257.jpg!d match it]]. There's also the weird stiffness to Cloud's face where it stays completely the same, barely expressive or reactive during the high-octane action scenes.

** Cid Highwind, okay in some shots, [[https://ladygeekgirl.files.wordpress.com/2017/06/final-fantasy-7-cid.jpg not so great]] for others.

** While Reno is passable at times, his eyes still feel [[http://66.media.tumblr.com/969c487059042fbe9d489c4e450e8a74/tumblr_nhwlnsI7rm1tynnrjo3_500.gif flat and lifeless]], and he occasionally [[https://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/characters/15/39524.jpg sticks his CGI tongue out]], which is too much for comfort.

** Of all the human characters, only two manage to consistently avoid the valley. The first is [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/finalfantasy/images/e/e2/Rufus.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20090713181432 Rufus Shinra]], though this is largely due to [[https://ladygeekgirl.files.wordpress.com/2016/06/ffvii-advent-children-rufus-shinra.png?w=848 his face being covered]] for the majority of his screen time. The other is [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/d4/3a/f9/d43af9edaf2fa355184ea8200692043c.jpg Tifa]], who looks about the same as she does in the games (albeit more human-like). According to the ''Reunion Files'', she was redesigned countless times throughout the animation process (probably moreso than any other character, in fact) in order to make her as beautiful as possible.

** If you think rotoscoping makes characters look unnatural, [[http://youtu.be/JuVRi9XzNpk?t=53s take a look at the first realistic Disney character, who wasn't rotoscoped.]] "The Goddess of Spring" was Disney's first attempt at realistic proportions on a character, but her [[UncannyValleyMakeup porcelain face]] and [[RubberHoseLimbs floppy limbs]] are what drag her down the valley.

** Many of the human characters except for Penny in ''Disney/{{Bolt}}'' have a pinched, waxen look to their faces ranging from slightly weird to just plain creepy.

** Rapunzel from ''Disney/{{Tangled}}'' and especially Anna and Elsa from ''Disney/{{Frozen}}'' have invoked this reaction. Their large eyes and barbie-doll complexion either make them [[{{moe}} incredibly adorable]] or awfully horrifying. The latter two are infamous for invoking this reaction when images of their designs were leaked. Fans were rabid and thought they looked absolutely ''terrible''. The designs were later revised, and when they were shown animated, most warmed up to the sisters, though many still consider them creepy.

* Blue Sky's film adaptation of ''WesternAnimation/ThePeanutsMovie'' can be unnerving to some. The CGI animation is a little ''too'' good at mimicking the art style used in the comic and specials, making everything look like so many colored balloons glued together. Snoopy in the trailer is particularly creepy. Not only that, but the movement very closely mimicks the choppy, rough movement in the original cartoon specials, which can be quite off-putting to a lot of viewers.

* ''Film/PokemonDetectivePikachu'' uses a mixture of real life people and computer generated Pokémon. The problem is, the Pokémon still have cartoonish proportions but also have realistic texture. As a result, they look like stuffed animals or piñatas (at best), or at worst, [[AnimalisticAbomination absolute abominations]]. While most of Pokemon e.g [[https://s2.dmcdn.net/vtkaS/x720-CKl.jpg Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Jigglypuff]], [[https://images-cdn.9gag.com/photo/abYO62v_700b.jpg Snorlax]] and [[https://assets1.ignimgs.com/thumbs/userUploaded/2019/4/10/eeveethumb-1554918384167.jpg Eevee]] look pretty cute and accurate, certain others e.g [[https://imgix.bustle.com/uploads/image/2019/2/26/8bcb58a8-554d-4c92-a820-fdc2e0f468c0-screen-shot-2019-02-26-at-114942-am.png?w=1020&h=574&fit=crop&crop=faces&auto=format&q=70 Licktung]], [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dr1RaR6U4AAP2tp.jpg Mr Mime]], [[https://static2.srcdn.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Snubbull-in-Detective-Pikachu.jpg Snubbull]] and especially [[https://nerdist.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/ApomDetectivePiakchu-1200x676.png Aipom]] look like they've come straight from the pits of hell.

* [[IntendedAudienceReaction Done intentionally]] in the ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'' movies.
** Some people have said that they found the Terminator in the first movie ''Film/TheTerminator'' creepy. Look closely and he doesn't look normal, and there's something funny about his eyes before he damages one. The reason his eyes look funny is that he's lost his eyebrows. Creator/JamesCameron had Arnie's face sprayed with Vaseline to deliberately invoke this trope and make it appear that something wasn't quite right about his skin, but that you wouldn't consciously know what.
** In the first film Reese mentions a never-shown T-600 model that had rubber skin. He also states they were easily spotted, one assumes because of this trope. When we do get to see the actual T-600s in ''Salvation'', they are in fact creepy simply because their rubber masks are so crude and lifelike, yet they are humanoid in appearance and mannerisms.
** The T-1000 fits this trope for most of his screentime in ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay''. In the 'making of' documentary, James Cameron mentions he cast Robert Patrick because "he moves like a cat". The T-800 visually scans everything, but the T-1000 is much more tactile, because it can morph into anything it physically touches. In the scene where he talks to John's foster parents and again when he arrives at the mental hospital to ask the night nurse to see Sarah Connor, he behaves like a normal person (even smiling in a natural way in the former scene), but still puts out a subtly menacing vibe. If you watch the T-1000 carefully, you'll notice that except for when he's speaking, he doesn't breathe. Being a more advanced terminator and remaining more true to James Cameron's original idea of the terminator as [[TheyLookJustLikeEveryoneElse an under-the-radar infiltrator]] (he disguises himself as a ''cop'' for crying out loud), it's expected that he could more accurately mimic a human posture, mannerisms and demeanor, but still do so in such a way that there was still something "off" and spooky about him.
** Done again in ''Film/Terminator3RiseOfTheMachines'' with CGI used to erase any trace of the Terminators blinking when they get hit in the face or fire their weapons.
** This was also used to great effect with the [[spoiler:CGI T-800]] cameo in ''Film/TerminatorSalvation''. The way the inherently imperfect CGI drove [[spoiler:Arnold's face]] right into the Uncanny Valley made the [[spoiler:T-800 look like a genuinely creepy soulless killing machine]] again.
** Think about what it must be like in universe for the Resistance. The Terminators are designed to infiltrate human outposts or hideouts to kill specific targets (like officers), or to whole-sale slaughter EVERYTHING in their path. KNOWING this, the Resistance has gone to great lengths to detect them, relying mainly on dogs (they can hear and smell the 'machine' bits in the endos that the humans can't). Although, considering that most of the people in those hideouts are on the verge of starvation or mental breakdown. Even the Resistance members appear malnourished (look at Kyle Reese in both the first film, and Salvation), this is where the T-800s stand out. They have the muscle tone of someone who's been lifting weights and eating a lot to build mass (unintentional when first filmed, as Arnold was a body builder before going into acting, but in universe is a result of the needed muscle mass to conceal the endoskeleton), and has a cold, calculating expression, and the movements are not fluid, but deliberate and repetitive. For these reasons alone, Skynet sends its terminators in wearing cloaks so as to conceal those features... But to look into the eyes of a machine that is bent on exterminating you... that alone is unsettling.

* ''Film/{{Paddington}}'' looks ''way too much'' like a real bear. [[TropesAreTools Yet]], some fans have been pleased to note that the facial expressions seen in the trailer look like they've been lifted directly from Peggy Fortnum's illustrations in [[Literature/PaddingtonBear the first book]].

* ''Disney/TheManyAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh'' as well as the original shorts it was comprised of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ir4Zm5KVe7Q#t=2m5s has the winking Pooh doll at the very end]], having a live-action stuffed animal winking with a very obviously animated eyelid, making the whole thing surreal.
* Rapunzel from ''Disney/{{Tangled}}'' and especially Anna and Elsa from ''Disney/{{Frozen}}'' have invoked this reaction. Their large eyes and barbie-doll complexion either make them [[{{moe}} incredibly adorable]] or awfully horrifying. The latter two are infamous for invoking this reaction when images of their designs were leaked. Fans were rabid and thought they looked absolutely ''terrible''. The designs were later revised, and when they were shown animated, most warmed up to the sisters, though many still consider them creepy.
* [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] in ''Disney/WreckItRalph'': Turbo, the lead character in ''Turbo Time'', is a game character that's human, but [[InvokedTrope due to the graphic limitations of his 8-bit game]], he has grey skin, an oversized head, bright yellow teeth (which are all exactly the same size and shape, and perfectly straight so that they all seem to be one piece), glowing, sunken yellow eyes ringed with dark circles, a pudgy body, and skinny limbs, giving him the appearance of a zombie. No wonder his game lost popularity when ''Roadblasters'' arrived.

** Yet another early Disney example occurs in ''Disney/{{Dumbo}}''. When the belly dancing elephant dissolves during the “Pink Elephants on Parade” segment, a disturbingly realistic Horus/[[TheIlluminati Illuminati]]-like eye appears in the middle of the screen staring back at you, making this an ironic nearly-full inverting of the film’s rather cartoony style compared to most Disney animated features.

** Pixar has this for the human characters in its early films, but they worked around it by avoiding direct shots of them. The humans in ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory'' look rather odd, and a major reason for some strange settings was to feature characters who would look less odd as CG characters. The human cast of ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Ratatouille}}'' are probably the most realistic, but they avoided the Valley by having cartoonish proportions. In ''WesternAnimation/WallE'' they try to avoid it, but there are some people who found the live-action scenes deeply disturbing ([[TruthInTelevision or too close to the truth]]). The CG background and cheap props only make it worse, particularly in comparison to the detailed post-apocalyptic wasteland (which possibly explains why they've never done it again since). They managed to avert it by the time ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory3'' came out.

* ''WesternAnimation/SharkTale'', particularly due to the main character Oscar having Creator/WillSmith's barely caricatured face on the body of a cartoon fish.

** Cloud suffers from this badly (not surprising, as the animators have admitted that he was one of the most difficult to make look realistic). While he does appear [[https://wallpapertag.com/wallpaper/middle/d/d/6/640289-cloud-strife-advent-children-wallpaper-1920x1080-samsung-galaxy.jpg passable]] [[https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Final-Fantasy-FVII.png in]] [[https://wallpapertag.com/wallpaper/middle/4/e/2/640330-cloud-strife-advent-children-wallpaper-1920x1080-1080p.jpg some]] [[https://wallpapertag.com/wallpaper/middle/7/f/4/640278-cloud-strife-advent-children-wallpaper-1920x1080-smartphone.jpg shots]], for the most part he just looks off due to his [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/58/b7/eb/58b7ebc56de74ee12dd0cb5e491ad390.jpg extremely pale face]] and the juxtaposition of his ridiculously {{Bishonen}} head placed on a muscly body which [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/finalfantasy/images/b/b3/Cloud_Advent_Children.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20080226224815 doesn't quite]] [[https://c.wallhere.com/photos/27/6c/movies_Final_Fantasy_Cloud_Strife_Final_Fantasy_VII_Advent_Children-230257.jpg!d match it]]. There's also the weird stiffness to Cloud's face where it stays completely the same, barely expressive or reactive during the high-octane action scenes.

** The kids especially are hideous little [[http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jisaEfAU__A/Tp5dcvF_NDI/AAAAAAAAAyI/MYAnpYnTSV8/s1600/ffac8_3.png doll-like freaks]].
** Yuffie doesn't look 19 at all with that [[http://blog-imgs-53.fc2.com/u/n/d/underworld2ch/20130222192506_90_1.jpg face]].

** Bizarrely, it is the characters who are ''supposed'' to be inhuman who end up looking the most natural. [[https://gbhbl.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/bad-guys.jpg Kadaj]] and [[http://s3.narvii.com/image/bl546mqdqbjcufxc2adxc4chpivddeu4_00.jpg Sephiroth]] have green, cat-like eyes, but this ironically adds more soulfulness to their facial expressions, making them feel more lifelike and less like hollow-eyed puppets. This is especially notable in Sephiroth's case, since he rarely blinks and, according to the animators, doesn't even ''breathe''.
** Of all the human characters, the only one who consistently avoids the valley is [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/d4/3a/f9/d43af9edaf2fa355184ea8200692043c.jpg Tifa]], who looks about the same as she does in the games (albeit more human-like). According to the ''Reunion Files'', she was redesigned countless times throughout the animation process (probably moreso than any other character, in fact) in order to make her as beautiful as possible.

** The kids [[http://www.vizzed.com/videogames/screenshots/43/436855/98288/Final%20Fantasy%20VII%20Advent%20Children_Marlene1478070052-full.png especially]] are little [[http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jisaEfAU__A/Tp5dcvF_NDI/AAAAAAAAAyI/MYAnpYnTSV8/s1600/ffac8_3.png doll-like freaks]].

** Of all the nonhuman characters, the only one who consistently avoids the valley is [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/d4/3a/f9/d43af9edaf2fa355184ea8200692043c.jpg Tifa]], who looks about the same as she does in the games (albeit more human-like). According to the ''Reunion Files'', she was redesigned countless times throughout the animation process (probably moreso than any other character, in fact) in order to make her as beautiful as possible.

** Aerith went through several changes during the production process as the designer (likely in some recognition of this trope) tried to make her as cute as possible. However, she still looked slightly off when her face was finally revealed towards the end of the film, prompting them to redesign her for the [[UpdatedReRelease ''Complete'' version]], fixing her eyes up with sharper graphics [[[[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/finalfantasy/images/9/93/AerithComparison.PNG/revision/latest?cb=20090615203245 which if anything just makes her look weirder]]. At one point they had to remove a scene of Aerith (in spirit) form hovering over Cloud's shoulder in the end credits, since it looked ''too'' creepy otherwise.

** While Reno is passable at times, his eyes still feel [[http://66.media.tumblr.com/969c487059042fbe9d489c4e450e8a74/tumblr_nhwlnsI7rm1tynnrjo3_500.gif flat and lifeless]], and he occasionally sticks his CGI tongue out [[https://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/characters/15/39524.jpg, which is too much for comfort]].

** Aerith actually went though changes as the designer (likely in some recognition of this tried to make her as cute as possible within the CGI budget, and they still [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/finalfantasy/images/9/93/AerithComparison.PNG/revision/latest?cb=20090615203245 changed it]] in the complete version, fixing her eyes up with sharper graphics which if anything just makes her look weirder.

According to the ''Reunion Files'', she was redesigned countless times throughout the animation process - perhaps moreso than any other character - in order to make her as beautiful as possible.

** The only two characters who mostly avoid the valley are Tifa, who looks about the same as she does in the games (albeit more human-like), and Sephiroth who is ''supposed'' to be inhuman.

* If ''The Spirits Within'''s CG Off pitting is awful then ''Anime/FinalFantasyVIIAdventChildren'' is just as bad, if not ''even worse'' since it's [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII beloved characters]] who are getting the uncanny treatment.
** Cloud suffers from this badly, with the juxtaposition of Cloud's ridiculously Bishonen head placed on a muscly body which doesn't quite match it, he looks almost as [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcRA0VCbWgODJZWBNFeLHkjg5cLXD38jajNddtkytvnRqhoPEL9t unnatural]] as Sephiroth. There's also the weird stiffness to Cloud's face where it stays completely the same, barely expressive or reactive during the high-octane action scenes.
** Barret's face is [[https://rei.animecharactersdatabase.com/images/Finalfantasyadventchildren/Barret_Wallace.png also weird]]. While he's not quite a ScaryBlackMan, he's still quite off-putting as if his model was created by someone whose never met a black person.

** The kids are [[http://www.vizzed.com/videogames/screenshots/43/436855/98288/Final%20Fantasy%20VII%20Advent%20Children_Marlene1478070052-full.png especially]] are little [[http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jisaEfAU__A/Tp5dcvF_NDI/AAAAAAAAAyI/MYAnpYnTSV8/s1600/ffac8_3.png doll-like freaks]]. Yuffie doesn't look 19 at all with that [[http://blog-imgs-53.fc2.com/u/n/d/underworld2ch/20130222192506_90_1.jpg face]]. And Reno of the Turks sticks his CGI tongue out [[https://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/characters/15/39524.jpg far too often]] for comfort.

** It's even more scary when we learn Pennywise can accurately look/move like a human being, as at one point in the Library when Ben is staring at the book leading up to a JumpScare. [[MeaningfulBackgroundEvent In the background]] you can see the Librarian stop stacking books and stare at Ben from behind with a huge scary smile on her face and after the jump scare happens she's gone and there's a red balloon in her place.

** Thanos in ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'' and 'Film/AvengersEndgame'' has this as well. Much like the Hulk example above there's a level of translucency to his skin and his enormous presence contrasting with Creator/JoshBrolin's calm stoicism can be extremely uncanny to witness in a regular non-action scene. Unlike Ultron who suffered from some bad NightmareRetardant, Thanos's recognizable humanity in [[https://www.syfy.com/sites/syfy/files/styles/1200x1200/public/2018/12/screen_shot_2018-12-06_at_9.33.40_am.png?itok=RvHDUpVv&timestamp=1544106901 an alien face]] is both extremely unsettling and effective.

** The CGI Rhinos from ''Film/BlackPanther2018'' have caused this reaction, especially the bit where one Rhino [[https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/proxy/f4jGy1PtwvU3dekn-LioU7eWjcS5iMR5J1p4nPilfG3Nets9aGlYBlZJPIKPNe3GoYDLoC_IlQEb-4KUpESzVPk71Nv24z5FksN2pMs1JBvJtDC96aWMFYX_sXoBL3I16cxEmqsuEKeMyWa-LPe3bToC=w498-h265-nc licks Okoye’s face]]. T’challa and Killmonger’s suit-clad CGI bodies look particularly [[https://www.mediaplaynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/BlackPantherFight.jpg weird]] during the FinalBattle as well especially when [[https://i.ytimg.com/vi/rR_zSvesfv0/maxresdefault.jpg unmasked too]].

* The [[http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/1066/startreksonitan.jpg big-eyed doctor]] in ''Film/StarTrek2009'' can be quite unsettling.

* [[https://media1.fdncms.com/indyweek/imager/u/original/5063785/it-clown.jpg Pennywise The Dancing Clown]] from ''Film/IT1990'', with layers of clown makeup and a [[PerpetualSmiler nigh-permanent smile]] played brilliantly by Tim Curry is extremely off putting, especially when he gets [[MonsterClown sharp teeth out]]. Hell there's even [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ce/a8/ae/cea8ae79b9aa3bb5ef633f24d4c4edf3.jpg early designs]] where he's even creepier and diseased-looking but the filmmakers thought Pennywise should be able to ''lure'' children therefore he should not be automatically scary, and ironically through a certain amount of {{Narm}} Curry's Pennywise is actually quite funny.

* ''Film/PokemonDetectivePikachu'' uses a mixture of real life people and computer generated Pokémon. The problem is, the Pokémon still have cartoonish proportions but also have realistic texture. As a result, they look like stuffed animals or piñatas (at best), or at worst, [[AnimalisticAbomination absolute abominations]]. While most of Pokemon e.g [[https://s2.dmcdn.net/vtkaS/x720-CKl.jpg Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Jigglypuff]], [[https://images-cdn.9gag.com/photo/abYO62v_700b.jpg Snorlax]] and [[https://assets1.ignimgs.com/thumbs/userUploaded/2019/4/10/eeveethumb-1554918384167.jpg Eevee]] look pretty cute and accurate, but certain other e.g [[https://imgix.bustle.com/uploads/image/2019/2/26/8bcb58a8-554d-4c92-a820-fdc2e0f468c0-screen-shot-2019-02-26-at-114942-am.png?w=1020&h=574&fit=crop&crop=faces&auto=format&q=70 Licktung]], [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dr1RaR6U4AAP2tp.jpg Mr Mime]], [[https://static2.srcdn.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Snubbull-in-Detective-Pikachu.jpg Snubbull]] and especially [[https://nerdist.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/ApomDetectivePiakchu-1200x676.png Aipom]] look like they've come straight from the pits of hell.
